A new online forum dedicated exclusively to the writing, criticism and study of the short story launches this month. Thresholds currently features an exclusive interview with Hanif Kureishi about his recently published Collected Stories, and in October there will be a live Question & Answer session with Adam Marek, author of the weirdly wonderful collection Instruction Manual for Swallowing.

Run by Loree Westron, a PhD student at the University of Chichester, and Alison McLoed, author of  the sparkling collection Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction, the site is primarily aimed at academics and postgraduate students, but it’s packed full of interesting material that will appeal to a much wider range of readers and writers. Members of the public can access the blog, articles and resource lists.
